A Spiddal student has been named the Irish winner of the 18th EU Young Translation Contest.
Déithín Ní Fhátharta from Coláiste Chroí Mhuire claimed the top accolade - and it's the third year in a row the school has won.
The school also won three of the five special commendation awards for Ireland - they are students Caoilte Canny, Tomás Ó Neachtain, and Ella Nic Dhomhnaill.
The competition sees more than 3 thousand students translate documents between any two of the EU's 24 official languages.
Déithín says she was shocked to learn she had won.
